Description by OLDIES.com:
Bob Kingman is a brilliant inventor working for cold-hearted industrialist Wilfred Drexel. However, Bob's main interest is the boss's daughter, Wynne, who spends her time speedboat racing. Bob invents a high-powered engine to help the young woman in her next competition. But a suave criminal posing as a Spanish count named Ribalto also has designs on Wynne. He sabotages Bob's engine and frames him for the theft of $100,000 from Drexel's company. With nothing left to lose, the inventor challenges Ribalto to a high-stakes speedboat race, hoping to redeem himself in the eyes of Wynne and her father.
